Kedarnath Temple opens amid lockdown; first puja performed on behalf of PM Modi
The portals of Kedarnath Temple were thrown open at 6.10 am today after a six-month-long winter break. The temple was decorated in a grand way with 10 quintals of flowers, temple committee officials said. This is for the first time when the 'abhiskek' and 'arati' have been conducted in the absence of devotees as the Lord Shiva shrine opened as per schedule even amid the Covid-19 lockdown following the coronavirus outbreak. No one was allowed to visit the temple.
